Singapore: Aiming at strengthening online safety, Singapore Parliament on Wednesday passed a law that requires social media sites to block access to harmful content “within hours”.
If an online platform refuses to take down harmful content, the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) can issue a direction to Internet access service providers to block access by users in Singapore.
